Aaron,
I do not know if you mean this or another solution.
\\\\\\\\\\\
Dim a As String = "Input: asfbsdfsd<time>June 12, 2003</time>blah blah"
Dim result As String = a.Substring(a.IndexOf("<time>") + 6,
(a.IndexOf("</time>") - a.IndexOf("<time>") - 6))
////////////

Check the regular expressions chapter of the documentation.
